    Give me a couple days I'll get you a bunch of pics. I just finished my wife's cr-v.

    Its a JDM B20B bottom with weisco pistons and there K1 rods with a girdle. The entire bottom was balance and blueprinted. Arp main studs, Itr oil pump and modified for more pressure.

    The head is a PR3 casting ported and poloshed, loaded with ferrea .5mm oversize valves and ITR springs.

    As far as I know you can't do too much to the rear. It's not a "real diff". But having said that I have a spare so I'll have a look inside.

    U gotta kick Mr G into some picts, his swap is awsome clean. Very cool Crv he has too.
    I have never seen a lifted crv with a gsr b20 swap and then he show up!

    Nice build you have going on here!! (I'm the guy Shenrie is talking about BTW ;) ) Looks like you are off to a great start with your CRV! IMO these things have lots of potential, the hard part is extracting that potential haha. Not much info available online regarding modding our funky little SUV's, but they are getting more and more popular by the day it seems, I see CRV build threads popping up all over!

    If you have any questions about the RT4WD setup (currently there is no LSD that will work in the front or the rear) or suspension/lifting/lowering your CRV, post them up, as i'm sure I will be able to answer them for you.

    For your suspension, i've found that 94-01 integra front struts work perfectly, and 1g DSM AWD rear struts work perfectly for the rear. (Caution, the DSM rears are not direct bolt on's, they require a bushing to be made for the lower mount. the DSM strut has a larger bolt hole opening than the CRV strut...so a bushing needs to be made that goes into the DSM hole, and reduces the diameter to work with the CRV bolt) Im running this suspension on my CRV with coilover sleeves and custom spring rates/lengths, and it handles awesome, and looks even better ;)
